We started off going to Red, White, and Boom in downtown Columbus on July 3rd. We walked down from our house since we live close to the city and didn't even want to attempt to deal with the parking situation.
There were an estimated half a million people that showed up for it! I know you probably can't tell...but that is a sea of people packed shoulder-to-shoulder all the way past the red traffic lights! And it was like that for blocks - crazy! I wanted a funnel cake but that dream was quickly squashed because there was no way I was going any further into the mass of people!
My two buddies <3
(and score! Aaron actually smiled nicely for a picture for once...but then Aub didn't haha)
Some shots of the fireworks - the finale was so crazy I couldn't get a good picture (you'll see at the end) it was way to bright!
On July 4th, we went into Dublin for their Independence Day parade since Aubrey was marching with her Irish Dance School.
The weather was so nice! Warm and sunny, but had almost like a fall breeze - just perfect!
The next day (Saturday) we head up to Akron for our friend's surprise 40th birthday party.
Deeds was excited to be at Nana and Grandad's since their bay window is her all-time favorite lookout spot ;)
And I got to see my favorite little lady bug at the party! I can't believe she's already almost a month old! She was looking pretty fancy in her little sundress and flower headband (which had been long since knocked off at the time of this picture ;)
We drove home Sunday morning and spent the rest of the day relaxing and catching up on DVR'd eposides of Salem (does any one else watch? It's such a crazy show!)
It was a great weekend! I can't believe how summer is just flying by...must be because of all the fun things that are planned every weekend! We are heading back up to Akron again this coming Friday for more time with friends! xx
